Hello.
I will expand the use of bacula to a greater number of computers to backup.
Im using the 1.38.x version.
Should I update now to 1.39.x?
No
What about backward compatibility?
- Clients (fd)
- Volumes
- Catalogs
- ...
If this is on documentation/bacula page, point me out where.
Have you read the full ReleaseNotes?
I think it is all documented -- certainly Clients (I say they are backward
compatible but do not guarantee it) and certainly for catalogs where I say
you must upgrade (so they in a sense are not compatible -- you need to
upgrade).
I'm not sure what the question is with Volumes, they have always from day 1
been upward compatible -- this is somewhere in the manual. Note, one
exception is old DVD Volumes are not compatible with the new format, but
Bacula DVD writing has always been beta (maybe even alpha), still is and will
probably remain so even after the 1.40.0 release.
This is a BETA release, so please don't expect it to be bug free or the
documentation to be complete. Beta means that there are lots of new features
(i.e. new code and new bugs), sometimes many are untested. However, the code
passes my regression scripts (on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris) which test only
a part of the functionality, and there are *certainly* new bugs, possibly
some show stoppers, as we recently saw with multiple drive autochangers ...
As with all software I know of, if you upgrade, it is very unlikely you can go
back, unless you restore everything you previously had including your old DB.
I hope that answers your questions.
Thanks
